North Georgia's Premier Bed Breakfast Lodge. Nestled in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia, Lily Creek Lodge is a forest-hugged mountain retreat that combines cozy, vintage style with modern luxuries and amenities. Whether looking for a romantic getaway, a friendly gathering place, or a just a serene environment to relax, you can find all the essentials for a country escape at Lily Creek Lodge, located just an hour's drive from Downtown Atlanta. Each morning, you can choose to dine in the gazebo, the deck, or the formal French dining room, where we serve Lily Creek 's Signature Breakfast, full, with American and European accents daily. Or, enjoy Breakfast in the Trees, in our woodsy treehouse overlooking the breath-taking view into the forest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Once the site of a 19th Century hydraulically mined gold field, it now is home to the bed and breakfast lodge, receiving visitors from all around. Take an afternoon stroll around the Lily Creek's grounds and discover our quiet and shady gazebo, perfect for observing nature or just winding down. During the sun-drenched summer months, Lily Creek's pool, waterfall, and spacious covered pavilion provide a campy atmosphere for playing games and cooling off. If you prefer to read a book next to the fireplace or watch some TV, come inside and experience the coziness of the Gathering Room and the Library. Or, drive into Dahlonega for some of the town's music and art festivities and great shopping for antiques, crafts and collectibles. FUN THINGS TO DO IN DAHLONEGA.

Amazing--especially considering that the MOUNTAIN MUSIC MEDICINE SHOW is an all volunteer effort. The setting is Dahlonega from Gold Rush days of the early 1800s to modern times of the early 1950s---?Doc Johnson's traveling Miracle Medicine Show has come to town and set up on the Square in front of Nix's Store, the hub of local commerce and social center of the area. Doc brings musical acts of the time with him as well as his own brand of humor while he exhorts folks to buy his Wizard Water elixir for improving their lives. He also showcases local talent on his show. Folks come from all around to hear the music Doc. His fast-paced style and rapport with the crowd keeps toes a-tapping and things moving briskly along. The scene occasionally shifts to street scene short skits where local people comment on the goings on of the day, mixing local history, culture and humor in the unique Southern Appalachian style of the time period. This is all presented in a live old-time Radio broadcast; sort of like going back in time without leaving your living room!
